Division is one of Satan’s weapons. Confession is the weapon used to overcome Satan’s weapon. You will note that Jesus did not say 'if you have something against your brother...', He said 'if you remember your brother has something against you go and be reconciled to your brother'. What would keep a person from doing this? The answer is a one-word answer-“pride”- and this was a problem in the church in Corinth and in the twenty-first century church. The Corinthian were letting pride rob them of the gift of peace, and the members in the twenty-first church are letting pride rob them of the gift of peace. ("There is nothing new under the sun")
The gospel that saves is the gospel that humbles, and that humbling gospel is the basis for Christian unity and harmony.
